Announcing HeroBM: Open-Code, Self-Hosted ERP for Modern Operations

We are thrilled to introduce HeroBM — an open-code, self-hosted enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform built from the ground up for modern businesses that refuse to compromise on data sovereignty, functionality, and speed.

Your business data belongs in your infrastructure. HeroBM gives you the control to define and evolve your software as your business processes change. Software becomes a tool, not a constraint.

Empowering Businesses

For over a decade, traditional SaaS vendors have forced companies into rigid recurring subscription models, multi-tenant databases with opaque security boundaries, and inflexible APIs that constrain operational agility. When you rely on a proprietary cloud ERP, you do not truly own your operational workflow.

HeroBM redefines this model. By licensing source code for direct deployment on your own Docker or Kubernetes infrastructure, you gain permanent access to a robust business engine running against your dedicated PostgreSQL database. Your software becomes a key asset in your business.

Empowering Operations

Unlike fragmented software stacks stitched together with brittle third-party connectors, HeroBM operates as a single unified operational hub across five critical pillars:

  • Order Management (OMS): Instant quote-to-order conversions, multi-tier discount pricing matrices, and live credit verification.
  • Warehouse Management (WMS): Multi-zone bin topologies, dock receiving, guided putaway rules, and wave picking.
  • Manufacturing & Light Assembly: Multi-level Bill of Materials (BOM), production job work orders, and automatic component staging.
  • Unified Actor CRM: Shared business entity model for customers, suppliers, and distributors without redundant records.
  • Native Double-Entry GL: Real-time transactional subledger postings that update your Trial Balance with every dispatch and payment.

Empowering AI Agents

HeroBM is architected from the start for the world of AI agents.

First, with access to the source code, your agents will have a complete understanding of the system. This is the ultimate headless ERP. You agents can use the built-in OpenAPI 3.0 endpoints, event-driven transactional outbox relays, and native MCP server.

Second, you can use AI to customize and extend HeroBM. With a paid license, you have full access to the test suite used in development, giving you the confidence to make changes - including using Claude or Antigravity - without fear of breaking unwritten rules.
